What's hot:

As 2012 comes to an end we follow up our most pirated TV-shows chart by taking a look at the most pirated movies of the year.

PROJECT X

With nearly 9 million downloads Project X leads our list of most shared movies on BitTorrent in 2012, leaving Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and The Dark Knight Rises behind in second and third place respectively.There is no significant change in the total number of movie downloads compared to last year but it’s clear that demand for movies remains strong. Project X as “winner” is perhaps the biggest surprise as it’s the lowest grossing movie in the top 10 with only $100,931,865.As is the case every year, our top 10 list has a few notable absentees in 2012. These include the top grossing The Hunger Games and Skyfall. The latter is currently only available in a lower quality release, which explains its absence.
